Method and Apparatus for Downlink Data Transmissions

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second set of resources and the fourth set of resources are configured by Radio Resource Control or a resource assignment for including user downlink data in a control region.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the fourth set of resources further comprises an indication that indicates whether or not the third DMRS is present.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein if the indication indicates the third DMRS is present in the fourth set of resources, then the resource location of the third DMRS is determined by the user equipment.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the second downlink user data is arranged to be demodulated based on the first DMRS.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the second portion of the second downlink user data is arranged to be demodulated based on at least the third DMRS.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first set of resources for receiving a first portion of a first downlink user data in the first TTI are rate matched around a short physical downlink control channel (sPDCCH).

9. The network entity of claim 8, wherein the second set of resources and the fourth set of resources are configured by Radio Resource Control or a resource assignment for including user DL data in a control region.

10. The network entity of claim 8, wherein the fourth set of resources further comprises an indication that indicates whether or not the third DMRS is present.

11. The network entity of claim 10, wherein if the indication indicates the third DMRS is present in the fourth set of resources, then the resource location of the third DMRS is determined by the user equipment.

12. The network entity of claim 8, wherein the first portion of the second downlink user data is arranged to be demodulated based on the first DMRS.

13. The network entity of claim 8, wherein the second portion of the second downlink user data is arranged to be demodulated based on at least the third DMRS.

14. The network entity of claim 8, wherein the first set of resources for receiving a first portion of a first downlink user data in the first TTI are rate matched around a short physical downlink control channel (sPDCCH).
